I bought 2 of these thermometers - one to hold ready to step in when my present thermometer gives up the ghost, and one to give as a birthday present to my daughter. I use this to test the doneness of meats and breads, and I use it to test the liquid I'm about to add to bread recepes. I Love It.

I am disappointed with this pen thermometer. It is a dull grey and not easy to find in my tool drawer. The button to turn on and off is very small and not easy to push in. The numbers are not that easy to read. It is an adequate tool but I would not purchase again. However, I was loathe to spend $100 on a more expensive model.

I don't know how I managed without this device. It is small and very convenient to use. It seems to be very accurate for the price and size.

I've been wanting a good "fast" read kitchen thermometer for years. I saw this one and figured I'd take a chance on this inexpensive model. Boy, was I impressed with it's performance. I use it several times a week when I make bread. It's great to get my water to the correct temperature for optimum yeast performance. It really has a fast (2-3 seconds) readout. I'm buying two more for myself and a friend.

The thermometer did not work. Dead battery! Battery should be packed separately or an insulating strip added if it is in place.

I was eager to replace my digital meat thermometer, which died because the screw-off battery cover was worn out. The Chef's one arrived, and I followed the directions - did not work at first, so I screwed off the cap to take out and replace the battery (as directed). Hmmm coin began to warp the screw slot. Replacing the battery still did not make it turn on. I took it to a nearby electronics place to check the battery. The guy again undid the battery cover - again it warped more, and alas, the battery was at fault. By now the battery cover was unusable! Not a well made product!

I tried turning it on. Nothing. I took out the battery, examined it, and put it back in as it was originally put in the thermometer. It did not work.Just to be extra sure, I took out the battery, turned it over and tried again. Nothing.I did not know if it was a dead battery or a non-working thermometer.I am sending it back.

I thought I was replacing the CDN instant thermometer that I had used for many years with a similar one. The item I received was not designed well, the sleeve cap did not fit, the print was very tiny and hard to read,and the length was shorter than my old one. The on/off button turned the thermometer on but not off. The thermometer turned itself off after several minutes thereby using up battery life. I returned it.

This was a replacement for a digital thermometer that was 30 years old that experienced a "melt-down" after accidently being left in a roast. I found it to be a good price for a pen style oven thermometer.

Now that the battery is replaced......

Now that the battery is replaced, this pen thermometer is working and should be a good, easy to use item. The thermometer arrived with some other items I ordered, all quite well packed in the box but not compressed against anything. Upon opening and trying to use it, it would not turn on. The battery was dead and had to be replaced at $5.99 plus tax! I felt a return would be just as much of a hassle as getting a new battery, thus I am keeping this thermometer but be aware yours may also arrive with a dead battery.

5 buttons and a tiny digital readout. On/off, and I understand it may be desirable to choose between "c" and "f" (can't spell either). But "hold" and "min/max".... personally I would rather be able to SEE the temperature. It is dishwasher safe. Don't know that i will do that, but at least you can get it wet.

The first one came and didn't work. Returned it and replacement finally arrived. I'll keep it now, but I wish I had ordered something else.
